Meuse. The meuse is the mark left in the ground after an animal departs, the grass or dust that bears an imprint of its departed body. Inspired by Proust and the belief that remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were, Philip is making a body of work exploring memory, its impact and its decay.
His medium is oil painting, digital and 35M film photography.
Brought up in Switzerland and the UK, Philip studied at The Courtauld Institute of Art and King’s College London. Based in New York, Philip is the Global Chief Marketing Officer for Ogilvy, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious advertising agencies.
